Hubby is at the grocery-pharmacy...

 


I wish that Hubby was as well as he is acting. Right now he is at the grocery store/Rx picking up a few items besides my stomach medication. I gave up my driver's license about a decade ago when my optic neuritis came more often (10X), and then I was for a few years legally blind with a right cataract that according to an eye surgeon who had helped by doing surgeries in third-world countries and he said that was what mine looked like! He did remove it. 

The only reason it got that large was I had a neurologist that due to my other eye problems, told me that it wasn't worth fixing, and since then I have had diplopia and nystagmus. The first is double vision and the second is shaky, tremor eyes. All MS related. And I could no longer get up to speed on the gas pedal, 15 mph was the fastest I could go... I tried it a few times in our neighborhood where the speed limit is 30mph but very few cars.

Hubby was working on the pool fence yesterday which is just where it used to be but a different design...lattice!

Reasonable but functional and pretty!

It will be four feet tall and keep our fur babies from possibly falling into the canal or a predator getting them. Ours isn't toxic yet with blue-green algae but many in the Fort Myers/ Cape Coral area have been getting that way south of us.

Moving on to newsworthy... you be the judge...

Be aware of this horrific practice if for no other reason than to STOP IT!

Triple-digit heat marches on...! To everyone's chagrin, and a desire for the good old days of the nineties.

MY MUSES are below!

Lastly, moving on to who they are, our crew...

3 months and 4 years old, now 5!

Aussie, say good day!

I am Aussie, not from Australia, but American-made. 
I will comply for its fun, so I will say good day!

I am called Aussie because my mom asked a sixteen-year-old girl looking at me in the crate I was in at the adoption site that day what she thought I should be named. Mom asked her age, but not her name...ha! And without hesitation, the teenager had said Aussie! By the way, she was just looking, so my mom did not steal me from her.
We never found out the girl's name; mom liked Aussie too. Since then, we have discovered that it is a ubiquitous name, but it is still just right for me! My parents think that I am uncommon, even say unique! I do like that.
I am an Australian Shepherd, a red Merl. And here is an interesting factoid about me was supposed to be a miniature Australian Shepherd, but as you might know, I AM NOT! Although I am now five years old, I am the baby, though I am the largest of the fur babies, and due to my breed and being standard, I am a bit too big, ha! 
I was three months old when Mommy and Daddy adopted me. I had been taken- out of a hoarder's home in the Carolinas with my litter. 
Above is my PIC, taken on the birthday I share with my dad, but dad is much older than me!!! I was the first to be adopted, on February 16, 2018, on Dad's brother's birthday.
No tail/tale publishing, circa 2018.
Get it? I was born without a tail, preferable for all Australian Shepherds; only one out of five are born that way!

                                           

Hello, I am Bella, in the picture above, a Maltese Yorkie, a Morkie. I might be seven years old. We are all rescues, so no one knows our ages for sure. I am the middle child, so I am what you would expect, with all those idiosyncrasies that go along with that! Being the only girl has its rewards, as well as its difficulties. 
I was turned in by my previous family, stating that I was misbehaving with their elderly dog it had been said that I was driving him crazy! I was the second to be adopted on 8/18/18 on clear out the shelters day!
My record called me Belle, so for no known reason, Mom decided I was more of a Bella; beautiful either way!




Hey, wait! Please don't forget me! I am Chance, pictured above, a Bichon Frise! I am eight years old, so they think, and the eldest, and I like getting up early with mom and Aussie. Bella sleeps late with Dad, till after seven most days, even later sometimes! 

I enjoy a good tug-a-war on the ropes, that Dad had twisted for Aussie and me, and sometimes even Bella plays too! I was the last to be adopted on January 23, 2020. 

I had been wandering the neighborhood for days, and then I saw Aussie and Bella in their living room window, so I hung out there... 

The animal control lady had been called and came out to see if I had a chip I.D. with her machine, and Dad told her that he wanted to name me Chance. His reason is that if no one claimed me, "I want to give him a second chance!" So that is how I got the name Chance!

The Animal Welfare League checked me out and kept me for sixteen days until I was allowed to be adopted. Good evening.  

Easy as Aussie, Bella, and Chance, now you got it! In order of adoption!
